The original number in this problem is 50 and you must find the percentage of 30 from 50.

Another way to view this problem is what percentage of the original 50 equals 30.

Let x equal the percentage:

50(x) = 30

50x = 30

In order to change the decimal 0.6 to a percentage multiply by 100:

0.6 x 100 = 60%

, so

This question is asking you to convert the percent into a decimal. When doing this, you must move the decimal point two spaces to the left. The answer is

For the sake of simplicity, since this reasoning is independent of the actual value of , we will assume that . Then is of 100, or simply , and is 2.5% of 100, or simply 2.5. To find out what percent is of , evaluate:

When dividing by , the reduced form is:

is the equivalent of percent, which is therefore the correct answer.

20% of a number is of that number, so . Equivalently,

of a number is of that number, so . Equivalently,

To find out what percent is of , evaluate:
